Few times do you really get to see and experience the rise of an artist to a bigger and brighter stage. TVD knows first hand the amount of work The Rural Alberta Advantage have put into their craft, taking the well-deserved title of being a “buzz” band and making it worth their while. In a few years, the band went self-releasing their work to signing to a couple labels (Paper Bag in Canada, Saddle Creek in the US), putting together a North American Tour and even scheduling in a slot at some festival called Coachella.
Needless to say, the RAA’s hustle has paid off, with their new record, Departing, in stores today (March 1). We’d suggest heading over to their label’s website and placing an order. And if you’ve got the coin, how ’bout grabbing their limited edition vinyl bundle? It includes Departing as well as their previous record, Hometowns, pressed on 180gram blue and yellow vinyl, respectively.
